Pale colors on external monitor with MacBook Pro M1

colordisplaym1

Yesterday I received my new MacBook Pro with the new M1 Chip. So far I'm really amazed! But there is one point: On my external display (LG 27UK850) the colors, especially black, are really pale. Black is more greyish.

My old MacBook Pro (with Intel) never had these color issues with this monitor. Also on the MacBook monitor colors are perfectly fine.

Anybody else have these issues? Or does somebody know how to solve it?

[edit] maybe good to know, I tried Display Port and USB-C

Have you tried to disable "True Tone" for your internal display via display preferences? This setting also impacts external monitors.
